THE HERON AND THE FISH

It was a sunnyday that was unbearably hot and a heron was flying around searching for food.

The astute heron saw a fish in a big pool, and dropped down so fast that the fish did not notice anything.

The heron opened her beak and it took a second for the fish to realize that she was going to eat him. The fish said, very afraid:

-“No, please don´t eat me! I have a family and I really really love them. I don´t think I´m a good enough feast for you”.

The words moved the heron, who said:

– “Okay, little friend, I won´t eat you. We will become good friends from now on”.

From then on, the thankful fish recommended other things that the heron could eat from the pool. The heron visited him when she could, because she was very thankful for the good advice that his new friend gave her.
